IND and NZ: India suffered a heavy defeat in the Test series against New Zealand. Team India lost 0-3 in this series. The reason for India’s defeat was poor batting. The Indian batsmen had a very poor performance against New Zealand. As a result, the Indian team has not been in a favorable position even once in this series. The onus for good results lies with star batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both of them have very poor statistics compared to other batsmen.
No batting even at home
India captain Rohit Sharma looks very worried about fast bowling in this series. The spinners gave Virat Kohli a lot of trouble. If you look at the statistics of these two players, you will be quite surprised. Rohit Sharma has scored just 133 runs in the last 10 innings. And Virat Kohli has scored 192 runs in the last 10 Test innings. Both batsmen played all 10 innings at home. When the conditions at home for these two stars are like this, it is worth thinking about what will happen in Australia.
Indian batsman who scored most runs in last 10 innings
- 470 runs – Shubman Gill
- 431 runs – Akshar Patel
- 422 runs – Rishabh Pant
- 379 runs – Yashasvi Jaiswal
- 354 runs – Washington Sundar
- 339 runs – KL Rahul
- 309 runs – Sarfaraz Khan
- 282 runs – Ajinkya Rahane
The names of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not included in this list. KL Rahul has been criticized for his form. In the last 10 Test innings, he has scored more runs than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Washington Sundar is also ahead of these two on this list. Looking at numbers like these, it’s clear that the era of these two great players is slowly coming to an end. Team India will soon go through a period of change.
Australia could be in trouble
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli must return to form soon. Otherwise the Indian team may face a lot of problems. India have to play five Test matches against Australia. The first game of the series will start on November 22. India’s squad for this series has also been announced. If India wants to win this series, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to improve their figures.
